Directed by John Sturgess, the story involves a Mexican village which is at the mercy of an outlaw gang, led by the ruthless Calvera. The gang strip the meek and cowed peasants of their possessions and in desperation the villagers hire seven notorious American gunslingers to free them from the gang.

The professional gunmen train the villagers to defend themselves and their land and then plan a trap for Calvera. But the trap is only partially successful and Calvera escapes and carefully plans his revenge.

The scene is then set for an epic shoot out between The Magnificent Seven and Calvera and his men.
